Scroggins , green maure , have used clover in past , it does stop weeds BUT I found really difficult when digging in , it just kept growing , so would NOT recommend that one
I am trying a different one and will let you known
One of the plot holders uses Mustard seed but he rotavates it in
Zoomer could you see if they could put shed in different spot ?
Have just been offered a load of plums so going to collect them this afternoon
Sounds like you are all busy. went to the plot yesterday to mow the paths, 3 hours later still on plot clearing weeds, picking crops,watering raised beds and sewing radishes and rocket.
Still munching our way through courgettes and runner beans, tomatoes just started to go red now, finished the beetroot and carrots, wish I had space to plant more.
Good luck with the shed issue Zoomer that's very inconsiderate of them!
I managed to e-mail one of the committee members, someone has spoken to the guy about his shed and he's going to move it further on to his plot. Good result...?
Hello , we had a glut of outdoor cucumbers ?, having given several away , o/h found recipe for cucumber soup and just had it for lunch it was surprisingly good
GWRS cucumber soup is good great lunch for you, I made some once
Well the judges came to Woolston train station garden, an hour late cause of trains playing up so they got there at 2.24 instead of 1.24 by train, so we were there from 11.30 till about 3.45, tidying up the gardens to start with
2 of them both called Paul and a tag along wife to one, they had a good look around all the bits of garden and the main area we are doing with veg and flowers, had a high up train man as well as the main man
We took and put up some bunting, a bench we got on gumtree yesterday
To bribe the judges I made a packet cupcake mix also took our table to help with cups of teas and for the hot water maching to go on, so teas and cake, had bench/ chairs out and had to try and explain what we have done
They enjoyed the garden really liked what we have done over the year stayed for an hour then off again, they have been looking all over the place, in the morning they were in London and yesterday Norfolk
So top awards gold, silver and bronze wont find out till October, they go by points in each section, so long wait for results so fingers crossed
Re-painted my Allotment plot number so need to put that up
Scroggin that is massive brilliant, how long you had your plot?
Thanks Zoomer - good about the shed next door plot
Amazing spaces Shed of the year is on at 7pm tonight channel 4
Went to the allotment yesterday and did a bit of strimming on plot and path also near by field (leisure centre) had a little fayre so got a nice ice cream and a burger yummy helped for lunch
Today a lot of moving of pallets making two pallet piles out of one very large pile, one for small shed and one for compost bins and bit of decking - now pallets sitting on top of weed matting
I get to see the big ditch that was under pallets that was there when I got the plot have to level the ground
Think we saw the biggest spiders going one with really big body and ones really black and large we were flicking them away with sticks out of the pallets and bit of screaming coming from the plot

Gg. Hope the judges liked the garden.
Cucumber soup sounds good. I made broad bean soup with a glut and runner beans may start to go the same way.
You can't beat a bowl of home made soup. My father used to make pea and ham soup to die for...?
The shed has gone up next door, it's not been built that much further into his plot.... but does let in some light.
